Date With Death

No eyes in their sockets,
Blind of the portraits beauty,
Held in a heart shaped locket.
Immortal & cold.
Choosing whose cards will fold.
Laying life onto a table,
Shattering worlds, turning life unstable.
Playing magic tricks,
with a skeleton key to open any heart.
Clap of your hands, we all fall down.
Smiling, talking, walking.
Drowning the ground & world in sound.
Choice is yours if & when,
We'll open our eyes again.
Stepping into the heart, only to push stop.
The single & only part of your job.
Dropping us lifeless to let us rot.
Roping together souls in knots.
Haunting & collecting thoughts.
Ultimately winning every battle fought.
